Ontario Provincial Police say they\u2019ve made their largest-ever fentanyl seizure, in a bust in Windsor.<\/p>\n

Authorities say 46 kilograms were recovered in late September after running search warrants at different addresses and in vehicles in the southwestern Ontario border city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fentanyl seized was enough for approximately 460,000 street-level doses \u2014 an amount capable of taking the lives of a moderately sized city,\u201d police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

One of the men charged is 25 years old from Windsor.<\/p>\n

The other is 29 and is from Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Both face a long list of drug-related charges and are set to appear in court again Dec. 8, in Windsor.<\/p>\n

Police said the probe into where the fentanyl came from is ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllicit fentanyl can be imported from other source countries or domestically produced with precursor chemicals in clandestine laboratories.<\/p>\n

“Fentanyl is a national enforcement priority,\u201d said OPP commissioner Thomas Carrique. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with our partners across Ontario, and beyond, to stop the flow of this deadly drug into the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Windsor\u2019s police chief says the operation will have a direct impact on the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemoving this volume of fentanyl from our streets saves lives,\u201d said Jason Crowley. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a powerful example of what we can achieve through strong partnerships \u2014 locally and provincially.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by text-to-speech, a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":373960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-373959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115537761633320521","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
